Folks - unless it's genuinely witty, please stop turning every thread into a 'All Americans are knobbers' type exercises. I'm getting threaders with the near constant flow of PMs winging their way in from just about every Mn HQ regular, complaining about each and every other ARRSEr here!

I'm not saying 'cut all banter' nor am I going to start waving the mod wand about willy-nilly, but please remember that this forum is here for everyone, but particularly our overseas visitors, who help give ARRSE a little extra something.

************************************************************

I got rid of shedloads of posts earlier, so apologies all round if anyone noticed their post counts decrease - I lost some as well, for what it's worth.

As usual, comments and issues to me, please. Don't start threads elsewhere about the moderation policy in here - it just makes you look like a childish dick.

Censorship lives! One or two of our friends from over the pond are more than capable of winding people up, but get upset when in typical squaddie fashion the tables are turned, or at least nudged.
On the understanding that this is not genuinely witty (please indicate what is-sarcasm, irony, sardonicism etc) feel free to delete.

Making mock of uniforms that guard you while you sleep, is cheaper than them uniforms, and they're starvation cheap . . .

"I firmly believe that we should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war." George Bush Snr, A World Transformed, 1998

Well, I'm with DD on this one - we all know who the knobbers are from over the pond, and on this side for that matter.
We don't need to fill threads with crap - there is plenty of wit available so lets use it

- Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
"If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny ******** to your heart's content."
- Deuteronomy 23:1
- Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

All anti American thread contributors are Islamic Fascist sympathisers, Traitors to the Queen and only one step away from converting to the so called 'Islamic religion' and attempting to destroy a primary school full of aspirant citizens of the 'Crusader Alliance'.

No such contributor should be allowed to hide behind an avatar, their photograpth, real name (including their 'Islamic' one) and address should be shown next to every post.

Come the return of The Lord Protector such malcontents shall be given stark and simple choices.

'There is much to learn from the British: their reticence about disclosing details, their clear expertise in human intelligence, their non-hysterical reaction to very real threats. Many Americans may have an inferiority complex about things British -- the refinement, the style and, of course, those accents' -
